The Glasslands - New Brooklyn Venue

UPDATE - If you are looking for the Glasslands concert calender, go HERE. And then scroll way down.


Mystery solved. Seems like as a Manhattan venue closes, a cool new Brooklyn venue come along to pick up the slack. Luna Lounge, Rothko, Avalon, Continental, CBGB. Union Hall, McCarren Park Pool, Studio B, and now...

The Glasslands @ 289 Kent Ave, Williamsburg.

Not to be confused with Glasshouse Gallery. But there is a connection:

I will be opening a new art/music/sports arena with the inimitable Brooke(of Glasshouse Gallery fame) over on Kent by the old Domino sugar factory. I would like to call it Rupert Murdoch or maybe more mysterious like phantom 289, but i'll have to run that by my bp (business partner) first. The place is about 2200sf of pure electric fun. It'll also be the new headquarters of: I and Ear record label (www.ierecs.com)--------------- Freestyle Non Profit Arts (www.freestyle-arts.org)---------- and Indoor Hockey 2006 ta-da! We will begin our monthly rotating art installations in september. A new website should be up and running-- but for now go to : www.brookebaxter/glasshousegallery.com or just check back here to keep track of what's happening.
